Ease your Fibromyalgia pain by using these Essential oils.

Fibromyalgia symptoms tend to be experienced by the sufferer between the ages of 20 and 60, though the condition is more common with increasing age. It causes widespread pain in the body, but discomfort can vary depending on the person.

The pain may be worse at some times than others, and can feel like a deep ache in your muscles, like a burning or throbbing, or intense, persistent pain. Fibromyalgia can also make you more sensitive, meaning that even the slightest touch can feel painful.

These oils mentioned below are very helpful for relieving pain and have anti-inflammatory healing power.

Lavender oil

The lavender flower is known for its stress relieving and calming properties. According to a 2015 study, lavender is also a pain relief agent.

When properly diluted and applied to the skin, lavender provides a pain relieving and anti-inflammatory response similar to analgesic medications. It can also be a sleep aid when inhaled using aromatherapy techniques.

In a similar 2016 study, lavender was used as an effective pain reliever in people with knee osteoarthritis.

Peppermint oil

Peppermint oil, which is distilled from the herb, can reduce pain and improve mental stimulation. One review found that applying peppermint oil, mixed with eucalyptus oil and ethanol, helped to:

increase cognitive performance

relax muscles

reduce pain sensitivity from headaches

Sandalwood oil

Sandalwood is a type of aromatic tree. Sandalwood oil is widely used for its antiseptic and anti-inflammatory effects. It’s also recognized for its ability to calm and sedate.

Sandalwood contains santalol, a compound known to have sedative and depressant effects on the central nervous system. Sandalwood oil can be inhaled to improve sleep and increase non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep, as shown in a 2007 study.

Eucalyptus oil

Eucalyptus is a powerful tree used as a decongestant and anti-inflammatory healing agent.

A 2013 study tested the effects of eucalyptus oil compared to almond oil on people who had total knee replacements. The study concluded that after three days, eucalyptus oil significantly lowered pain and inflammation, and also lowered participants’ blood pressure.
